Weird n' Wacky Sewing Machines

So the other day I was inside my local Urban Outfitters checking out what is (supposedly) hot (and confirming that my dress sense is decidedly not). Never mind, I still love their quirky home-wares  and I can always find another daft tea mug to add to my collection.  I was delighted to see that this purveyor of coolness has cottoned on to the fact that sewing is cool (like we soooo knew that last year - and the year before...).  I took a snap of a kooky portable sewing machine that they had for sale:

I'm not too sure what is going on on the knitted chap's groin - perhaps it needs repairing haha! 

 

So this funny little sewing machine got me thinking "I'm going to go home and have a Google at other funny sewing machines..."  We all have days when our sewing machines are hell bent on driving us up the craft-room wall (nothing to do with us of course - it's the machines having one of their an 'evil days'), but imagine having one the following sewing machines to contend with!

Steam punk sewing

 

Wilma and her avian sewing machine.

 

Wacky looking portable sewing machine.

 

A rather different kind of 'portable' sewing machine.

 

Star Trekky sewing machine - good to see that will still be free-arms in the future :)

When sewing machines go BAD

 

I love my sewing machine, to be fair it's rarely weird or wacky.  It's actually very reliable and consistent (more than I am anyway!)  Is yours?
